LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to the first Insider for 2017, the Autumn issue!

I’ve been working on the Insider magazine for a while now, contributing flowcharts on where to eat lunch, writing sassy articles about people’s taste in music, and trying to make it all look pretty. But this is my first attempt at running the show, as I try my hand at all things internal communications. 2017 marks my five year Pitcher-versary; my humble beginnings were on the reception desk alongside the esteemed Deanne Matthews. I shuffled myself over to Marketing as the team assistant, but now I’m the person who sends you the Friday Pitch and makes those pretty posters you see in the breakout rooms (my favourite was the cat wearing a suit for firm drinks, classic).

I am pretty sure that communication is the solution to all problems. Except maybe the common cold, the horrors of Melbourne winter and that whole Trump situation.

I digress, communication is what it’s all about, so if you have something worth sharing, get in touch! I’m talking about engagements, weddings, new puppies. If you have a cool hobby like knitting peculiar hats in the shape of pizza or extreme board game sessions (Yes, I truly consider both of these hobbies very cool), I want to hear about it!

I suppose you could even tell me if you have some work related things going on. If your team is doing something newsworthy or if there’s an exciting project on the horizon, I want to know! Send me an email, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, singing telegram etc.

There’s just one other thing that I’m pretty excited about (that’s a lie, there are a lot of things I’m excited about, like the new Star Wars movie, the Van Gogh exhibition at NGV, really crunchy autumn leaves) and that’s community.

Our workspace spans five floors and three locations (Melbourne, the South East, and Geelong) so it can feel pretty vast at times. Do you ever go to firm drinks and think “who are all these people?”. Well I reckon we could work on changing that, one Insider magazine at a time.

THAT! RUSSIA DIDN’T CONSIDER BEER AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE UNTIL 2011.

BEFORE THEN, ANY BEVERAGE UNDER 10% ALCOHOL VOLUME WAS CONSIDERED A SOFT DRINK. PINEAPPLES WERE SO EXPENSIVE IN THE 1700S THAT AMERICAN COLONISTS WOULD RENT ONE AND CARRY IT AROUND AT PARTIES TO FLOUT THEIR WEALTH.

PITCHER PARTNERS AND BUSINESS CHICKS – LUNCH WITH NICOLE KIDMAN

Business Chicks are known for organising blockbuster events and this was no exception.

Nicole spoke about balancing individual priorities – between work, family and all the other challenges life can throw at you. She spoke about the projects she takes on, and those that she doesn’t, highlighting the fact that you should always push yourself but only if the underlying reason you’re doing it is because the outcome is something you truly believe in.

664 COLLINS IS ON THE RISE!

If anyone has ventured near Southern Cross Station lately you may have noticed a towering building has grown above the waves of the Station’s roof over the past few months. Already almost completed externally, the building – which stands above platforms 14, 15 and 16 – is currently 11 storeys tall, with only two more storeys to go until it reaches its final height of 13 floors with a snazzy rooftop terrace to boot.

If you squint your eyes quite a bit and ignore the scaffolding, you can probably see yourself on the rooftop terrace enjoying a frosty beverage or two and gazing at the city skyline while hobnobbing with your clients at a Pitcher’s event.

TAHINI LEBANESE DINER

by Sabine Wolff

HALOUMI FRIES! I was pretty sure I could leave the review at that, but my editor told me I needed to fill more column space.

I am resisting the temptation to just write the words ‘haloumi fries’ 180 times. But seriously, they serve fried salty cheese, what more do you need to know about a place?

Out of deference to my editor, however, here is a proper review.

Tahini is located off Little Bourke Street, via the William Arcade or via Guests Lane. It’s a fair hike for a cheeky work lunch, but it’s well worth the trek up the hill.

Tahini does do takeaway dips and wraps and such, but you’ve walked all that way so for the best experience bring a few mates and dine in.

The menu is focused around sharing; you can choose your own share plates, but for best value The Insider recommends selecting the soufra menu – a selection of both hot and cold

Need to know: 518 Lt Bourke St

(Through the William Arcade)

Open for breakfast and lunch M-F, Dinner Th&F Bookings recommended for big groups $15-$30 a head The Insider recommends: Soufra for more sharing menu, haloumi fries, a sneaky Almaza Pilsner.

10

dishes that basically ends up being all you can eat, such is the sheer volume of food you will be presented with. The Insider team often orders a soufra for six people when there are eight of us.

The menu is highly vego friendly, with vegan and gluten-free options available. Also we strongly recommend instituting a rule: if one person eats the toum (garlic sauce), everyone must eat the toum. Garlic ceases to be an issue if everyone smells like it.

The drinks list is extensive and caters to everybody. Traditional Lebanese iced teas and lemonades sit alongside pressed juices and both local and Lebanese beers and wines; arak and cocktails are also available. Coffee isn’t a silly option either: Tahini is owned by Joseph Haddad, of Code Black Coffee fame.

Haddad’s commitment to good, simple Lebanese lunch fare will leave you wondering why on earth we don’t eat like this all the time. So put your flats and your elasticwaisted pants on and get yourself to Tahini for your next team lunch.

YOUR CORPORATE KITCHEN The Consulting team hosted a client dinner on 6 March at the Albert and Sydney in Brunswick. As a Your Corporate Kitchen (YCK) initiative, the Consulting peeps participated in team building activities, learned new skills and got to know each other. They all had a role in our very own corporate kitchen and hosted guests to fine food, wine and great service.

“great evening, as the GM for the night I particularly enjoyed being encouraged to boss Rob about – especially when I found him and some other staff out back tucking into leftover beef cheek and gnocchi when there were plates to be cleared and wine to be poured!”

– Andrew Killen

“The YCK event was a fantastic way to give our clients a memorable experience, and for us to learn and have fun as a team. Not to mention the great food and drinks” – Graeme Cuxson

For someone that didn’t want to be in the kitchen I ended up having a blast behind the scenes of a commercial kitchen. I had the privilege of plating up dishes designed by Young Chef of the Year and then hearing from clients on how much they enjoyed watching us on the big screens. It made us more personal and real and I know it has made an impact on how clients see us as a team, united and having fun.

PEOPLE BEFORE

DURING

REDMOND GIACOMINI What made you decide to participate in the World’s Greatest Shave?

Sadly everyone is touched by cancer in some way, I decided to raise awareness by making a small sacrifice for a big cause. I thought it would be a great opportunity to encourage people to donate to the Leukaemia Foundation.

What was your fundraising target?

My target was originally $1,000, however I decided to push myself and aim to raise $2,000. I’m glad I did because it motivated me to ask more people to sponsor me… plus I feel like it better reflects the true value of my hair.

How much did you raise for the cause?

I raised $2,376 and nearly 50% of this was thanks to Pitcher Partners employees! Thank you to everyone who donated!

What’s the best feedback you received after the shave?

All the feedback was positive both during and after the experience, I appreciated the gratitude and support.

Do you miss the man bun?

I don’t really miss the man bun but I do miss my hair… small price to pay.

Will the man bun be making a comeback?

I can safely say it’s gone into retirement.

AFTER

MEET NATASYA AND NASYITAH Natasya and Nasyitah are Graduates in BAA. They have come from Malaysia to PP for a four-year placement and to undertake all relevant training in addition to CA study.

The PCT team spoke to the girls shortly after their arrival, here’s what they had to say about Melbourne, PP and their expectations and achievements.

Welcome to Melbourne! You have both been here for about three weeks now, what would you say are your three most favourite things about Melbourne so far?

Natasya: People – everyone is very friendly and helpful and we really like the Australian accent! *Natasya tries to attempt it* and DFO – as we really enjoy shopping.

Nasyitah: There is food available from all cultures around the world. And the coffee!

Natasya: I am not a coffee fan, but I do enjoy the food…

We both really enjoy oysters here in Melbourne, they’re much cheaper than in Malaysia.

What are your three least favourite things about Melbourne?

Natasya: The weather, it’s too cold!

Nasyitah: It is too cold to run, you don’t break a sweat.

Natasya

The green light for crossing the road is too quick. In Malaysia, the green light is flashing for twice the amount of time.

It is hard to find small hot chillies in the city supermarkets. We need to visit Victoria Market and South Melbourne market.

Tell us more about Malaysia, what is it like living there?

Natasya: We both grew up in Malaysia, it is hot and humid and we love it. It’s a hot mess! We recently heard from our friends and family, they have been experiencing 40.9C days and we are jealous.

Nasyitah: I am from Pahang and Natasya is from Kedah.

How about the food? Melbourne is full of foodies, what is your favourite meal?

We are both foodies.

Nasyitah: The food in Malaysia is great. I miss my mum’s homemade meals, there’s a dis h my mum makes that is very rare to find, even in Malaysia. You need to be really skilled to make it and it is very traditional to Pahang, it is called Gulai Ikan Patin. It is a fish dish made with a variety of different spices in a broth.

Something that is really hard to get in Melbourne.

Natasya: My favourite meal has to be Laksa Utara. We both also love rice meals and dishes which contain coconut milk as they give dishes a really nice taste. Food that we find hard to cook.

Nasyitah

What is the working environment like in Malaysia?

Natasya: Very different! It is very quiet and the working days can be much longer, in the peak period working days can extend to 12 hours and for some the working day ends at 2am. Our lunch hours are long, usually 1.5-2 hours. It is acceptable within organisations to take this amount of time for lunch. We usually car pool and drive to buy food in our breaks. There is a lot of traffic and it can take a long time to get your food and return to the office. It is much easier to drive around rather than walk (as it is very hot), and the public transport system is not reliable and the train stations are very far apart. The transport system in Melbourne is much better.

If you could recommend a place to visit in Malaysia, where would it be and why?

Nasyitah: That would have to be Perhentian Island, the beach is amazing, it is very clean and there is a coral beach.

You can swim and snorkel with the tropical fish.

Natasya: Penang Island. This is a great place for foodies.

What are your major goals?

Natasya: We feel that we have achieved so much already by being selected to come and work at PP, we feel so very honoured! We do want to be pushed out of our comfort zone and we want to improve our skills. We also want to learn how to cook and improve our sense of direction in this new city.

Pollinate Energy’s Young Professionals Program (YPP) is a highly specialised program with a strong focus on professional and personal development, seeking to improve the lives of India’s urban poor who lack access to basic standards of living.

This year, Tillie Sweeney worked with other young professionals from across the world to generate a lasting impact in the slum communities of India, by providing communities with access to sustainable products such as solar lights, solar fans and water filters.

We talked to Tillie before she took off about why she decided to get involved and her expectations from the program.

Why did you decide to get involved with YPP? As soon as I saw the poster by the bathroom door I knew I would apply for Pollinate Energy’s Young Professionals Program and even more so after speaking with Edward Unkles, who attended the program last year. I have travelled to India once before and loved its chaos, culture and unique beauty. Through the CSR team, PP are offering an amazing opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, to meet young professionals from all around the world, and immerse yourself in a completely different lifestyle, all the while helping to create social change through a remarkable social enterprise; Pollinate Energy.

What is the type of work you will be undertaking in India?

In India I will travel to Lucknow where I will stay for two weeks.

The group attending the YPP in Lucknow will be split into three teams and each team will work on a different project to assist in improving the operations of Pollinate Energy. Every day, the team will work together as a mini consultancy alongside our Indian Fellows and to create new ways to overcome old (and new) problems, which will involve both office-based work and fieldwork.

We are yet to find out our allocated project however have been given the project briefs which are as follow: • Product testing which involves researching and testing the product, trialling in the communities and writing a feedback report outlining your findings and recommendations.

• Assist in calculating Pollinate Energy’s negative externalities, Externalities are unintended consequences of producing a good or service and can be positive or negative. With this tool Pollinate Energy can be honest and open about their carbon footprint and start to take steps to decrease it.

• Assist in the scouting and expansion into Kanpur.

What do you hope to achieve through this program?

I am hoping this experience will give me an insight as to how a value-driven social enterprise like Pollinate Energy operates while serving the community. Given this opportunity to learn about the lives of families living in India’s slums and spending time interacting with them to understand their challenges and needs is a great learning curve helping me to see how I can use my professional skills to truly make a difference to the everyday lives of others.

What particular skills do you think this experience will further develop that could benefit your work at PP? I am sure my time with Pollinate Energy will improve my skills, which will benefit my work at PP. The program encourages team work and time management, inspires leadership, and will assist in developing my soft skills. Additionally it will broaden my knowledge on the operations of social enterprise and I’ll develop skills to recognise challenges faced by businesses.

What are the top three things you are taking with you (sentimental value, practical objects etc)?

My travel pillow, camera and passport!

AFL SEASON PREDICTIONS 2017

Peter Quattrocchi (Tax Consulting)

Avid Insider readers, an invitation to provide an insight into, and predictions for this year’s AFL season was an opportunity too delicious to resist (like that last Oreo cookie…).

The Oracle of AFL, the Crystal Ball, the pressure was immense. Where to start?

After much analysis and sleepless nights (well, I was awake thinking about it for five minutes one night) and the benefit of Round 1 performances, the dye was cast, the quill dipped in ink and it was time to put my footy reputation (scant as it is) on the line.

The one overriding thought was that three top eight teams from 2015 dropped out in the 2016 season. The Western Bulldogs victory of 2016 suggested it was time to be bold. So predictions have been made. Time for change! Out Swans, Hawks and North. In – Essendon, Melbourne and Tigers. Yes, some may say there is “bold” and there is “what were you drinking?” But change is inevitable and the competition looks relatively even.

I must confess, the sympathy vote came into play for 8th position. The thought of the Tigers back at 9th on the ladder was a cross too hard to bear. So bring on 2017!

CONSUELA Dear Juanita and Consuela,

Dear Milkless Millenial,

Tea time is one of the few pleasures visited upon my interminable work day. There is no sweeter pleasure than partaking in a milky 3pm tea, accompanied by whatever biscuits I managed to salvage from the break room in the morning before the hordes descended.

In the village I grew up in we used to have to milk a goat every time we needed milk for our tea. Lilydale in 1995 was not the metropolis it is today.

Yesterday I commenced my regular tea ritual as per usual: I slipped a Lipton tea bag out of its protective paper sheath; placed it delicately in my Pitcher Partners mug; carefully filled the mug with hot water and savoured the slow release of tea aroma, wafting into my nostrils as the teabag infused. I made my way over to the fridge in a tea-scented dream, selected my usual Pura permeate-free original milk, opened the carton and started to pour.

Plop. Plop. Plop.

Three drops of milk. Three drops of milk were all that greeted me. Tea time was ruined, all because some inconsiderate flibbertigibbet had placed an as-good-asempty milk carton back in the fridge.

Juanita and Consuela, what is the most appropriate way to visit my wrath upon this milk fiend? At the moment I’m considering an elaborate series of traps and potentially something involving a hand grenade.

Best wishes, – Milkless Millenial

I can almost smell the frustration you experienced. It smells vaguely of wood shavings.

Your question has caused me to think deeply about the type of personality that would stoop as low as to put a nearempty milk carton back in the fridge. I feel that it would be a type of person named Adam, Ben or Melissa. So keep your ears and eyes peeled for anyone matching that description.

Consuela Hi Milkless Millenial, There is no nice way of saying what I am about to say, so I won’t even try.

You and your smashed avocado generation are what is wrong with this country. You are so entitled to having everything handed to you, whilst others have worked hard all their lives.

Before you complain about the three drops of milk left for you, think about what you do for your coworkers. Are YOU the inconsiderate flibbertigibbet? Next time you make a cup of tea, check the milk levels.

Juanita
